Warning: It's safe to install AdBlock manually because you'll be getting our .crx file directly from the Chrome Web Store. In general, it's not a good idea to install extensions that you get from somewhere other than the Chrome Web Store.
Note: If you install AdBlock without going through the Chrome Web Store, you will not get updates automatically when we release them.
Note: Chrome 63 doesn't allow installing extensions from a .crx file. If you're using Chrome 63, follow the alternate instructions below.
